The amount of land you wish to sell

How fast you want the sale to happen

If you would like us to obtain planning on your land whilst in your ownership

Accommodate any requests you have to keep parts of your land or include building works for you as part of the agreement.

“Working with and acting on behalf of Jamie Pickerill as an Architect and Planning Consultant over the last five years has been an immense pleasure. His attention to detail throughout each stage of the land acquisition and property development processes are always clearly visible. In the politest possible way, Jamie is a land and property geek and during any conversation on the subject his years of experience and passion for the industry are very clearly apparent. What I admire most about Jamie’s approach to both business and life is his constant and unfaltering motivation and ambition to continue growing and improving himself and his business in every way“.

“I have worked closely with Jamie on several, complex, property transactions, and each time I have been impressed with the detailed instructions I have received. The success of any property transaction is down to the constant transparent communication between the parties involved and this is something which Jamie has not only recognised but excels at. Jamie is clearly a very competent property professional as well as being extremely likeable.”

Projects that the Director has been involved with in various capacities and companies

Durrant Road

2 large neighbouring properties owned by retiring couples who wanted to downsize. They both received above market purchase prices in the middle of the recession when houses were not even selling on the open market!

Beswick Avenue

Land Options negotiated the assembly of 9 over sized 50m back gardens from 9 neighbors to achieve planning for 12 new houses. All the owners received a tax-free lump sum from the introduced investor and used the money for a lot of different reasons!

Weston Lane

Looking to pay off their mortgage, the owners of this house wanted to sell for as much as they could so invited Land Options to secure planning permission for a block of flats on the land.

Cromwell Road

We were asked to add value to an existing Royal Mail sorting office. We approached the surrounding neighbors and invited them to be involved in the development. Planning was achieved for 21 Flats + 13 Houses.

Poplar Lane

Valued by a so called ‘professional’ at £130,000, Land Options was recommended to the owners. We introduced a buyer for £1,300,000 subject to planning for 10 houses.

Wainsford Road

The owners called to tell us that the land could not be built on. The house with land had been valued at £900,000 but they did not want to move. We worked with a huge planning team to secure permission and the owners sold the land for over £1,000,000 and kept the house!

Niagara

A very old concrete fabricated bungalow was inherited by the family and Land Options negotiated the unconditional purchase from the beneficiaries. Planning was granted to build a very beautiful cottage in its place and the original name of the house was kept out of respect for the deceased.

Kathleen Road

A retired couple wanted to financially help their family by selling off their excess land for development. Planning was granted for 2 bungalows and the owners received a tax-free lump sum which was subsequently given to the family!

Bursledon Road

About to sell on the open market, the owners of this property decided to sell off the long garden separately to maximise the money they made before selling the house.

Foxholes Road

After 40 years the owner had decided to sell, the property was valued with local estate agents and land options appraised a higher value if planning could be obtained. Planning was achieved for 9 flats and the property sold for considerably higher than current market value.

61 Alexandra Road

After receiving a letter from Land Options explaining that planning could enhance the value, an agreement was made and planning was achieved for 5 properties on the land.

12 Sussex Road

Looking to release some money without moving, the owners of this property agreed to sell off their excess garden land for a tax-free lump sum once planning permission was granted for 2 houses. They cleared the outstanding mortgage!

From single houses to over 100, Land Options use the best architects, planning consultants, builders and investors to add massive value to the land at no cost to the owner
